GLOSSARY
(Issued with Prime Minister Decision no. 1393/QĐ-TTg, 25 August 2012)
Green Growth Strategy in Viet Nam: A strategy to promote the
process of restructuring and improving economic institutions towards more
efficient use of natural resources, improved competitiveness of the economy
which will be achieved through increased investments in technological
innovation, natural capital and economic instruments. This will contribute
to respond to climate change, reducing poverty and ensuring sustainable
economic development.
Green Technology: “Technology development and application of
products, equipment and systems used to conserve the environment and natural
resources, minimize negative impacts from human activities”. Some key green
technologies are:
- Green Energy Technology (economizing fossil energy, energy
recirculation in industrial production, reduced emissions, solar energy, wind
energy, nuclear energy, tidal energy and the systems of smart power grids, etc.).
- Material technology and construction (includes non-fired materials,
wood substitute materials, processing of traditional materials using appropriate
high technology, intelligent buildings, green buildings, etc.).
- Mechanical technology in transportation (engines using new, low
emissions energy, intelligent transportation systems, etc.).
- Green Technology for agriculture, forestry, biology (new plant
varieties, cultivation and processing of agricultural, forestry and fishery).
- Green chemical technology (production of synthetic plastics based
on plant material which easily decompose, production from renewable raw
materials, treatment of hazardous waste, producing little or no by-products and
waste, production with little consumption of water and chemicals, etc.)
- Waste treatment technology (waste recycling, prevention and disposal
of hazardous waste).
Green Construction: A green construction is a construction with high
efficiency in the use of energy and materials, reduced adverse impacts on the
environment; at the same time can be designed to minimize the negative impact
of the built environment on human health and the natural environment.
Urban ecology: improving the welfare of human beings and society
through urban planning and integrated management of urban resources to
harmonize benefits from ecosystems to protect and nurture those assets for the
future generations. (Eco2 Cities - World Bank 2010)
- 18 -Green economy: the green economy creates, distributes products and
services in an environmentally friendly manner, renewable energy, transport
and clean and green fuels and green constructions, reduce energy consumption,
the use of raw materials, water, through strategic and efficient energy and
natural resource utilization and while switching from carbon components to
non-carbon. (OECD)
Business as usual scenario: Plans developed in the absence of a major
policy change.
Green Products: Green Products are non-toxic, produced using energy
and water efficiently, and are harmless to the environment.
Sustainable consumption: “the use of goods and services to meet
basic needs and improve quality of life while using fewer natural resources and
hazardous substances, and reduced emissions and pollutants in the life cycle
and not compromising the needs of future generations” (UN, 1995).
Green jobs: Jobs in agriculture, manufacturing, research and
